The Otago Exercise Programme

The Otago Exercise Programme is a series of simple, tailored strength and balance exercises designed to reduce the risk of falls in older adults. These exercises typically include leg strengthening and balance training, performed at home, often with guidance from a health professional. The program aims to improve stability, coordination, and confidence, helping seniors maintain their independence and safety. It has been widely studied and proven effective in preventing falls and related injuries in community-dwelling older adults.
